The truth sets
us free

Once I heard a
second-rated stanza, it was Hati pe Hati Hati pe Hati, after listening to this,
I was expecting another bad line. He again said 'Hati pe Hati, Hati pe Hati. (he
Paused little bit and again said) Hati pe Hati, Hati pe Hati. After so many repetitions,
I was irritated and asked for next line.

Finally he
said 'BALANCE DEKH BALANCE'

Ahhhh!!!

After
listening second line 'BALANCE DEKH BALANCE', I started inferring from it,
generally we don't expect such a balance, but in case of lies, to hide a lie, a
thousand lies are needed, we put lies over lies. If we don’t expect such
balance then why we put mountains of lies over one another? Sensibly we shouldn't
but commonly we do. It is so common not
to use common sense.

Benefits of
lies

On the other
hand 'benefits of lie' are more attractive than 'Truth'. Lies help our ruthless
desire for self-advancement but truth doesn’t, egotism loves it. You can find
many examples around you, like “ethical corporate world”.

Actually, the
fault exists on both the sides. When we face some adverse realities, that we
were not prepared to tackle, we resort to vitriolic comments. In response to
it, we start by vitriolic comments, with full anger. The fear of adverse
comments and stinging remarks forces us to first hide, and then be careful
about sharing the truth. After that our world moves around it. We
become satellite to move around ‘Sun of lies’ with extra sense for protecting
truth and projecting lies. Now lies become stronger than truth, and if TIME forces
us to share truth, nobody will accept. Then it becomes a fact 'that you are a liar'
with truth. Your conscience hates yourself. It engages your brain in useless
thoughts. Lying causes self-criticism and depression. Earlier fake calmness and
current unrest of mind questions you - ‘Why do you share truth? It is better to
keep hiding’. This experience sets new beliefs of hiding 'Truth'. Throughout your
life you live with fake appearance, poker faces. But on the other hand if you
are honest, truth tellers, the fear of lies will never a question for. You
could sleep well; it's the truth with your conscience that sets you free. ‘Three
things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth’. ­–Buddha said.

How to face
people after you have committed a mistake? Generally, this is treated as a big
deal by people. The best recourse is to meet the concerned person and tell them
everything truthfully. You might have heard of ‘mea culpa’, meaning ‘I committed
crime’. This philosophy is worth practicing.

The white lies
–Exaggeration

Exaggeration
of facts is nothing but air-pumped reality. If the reality is small, and you
portray it is as a huge mountain, then that is white lies. You say truth but
exaggeration makes it lies. You can’t be trustworthy anymore.

If you follow
the path of loyalty you don’t have to carry the extra luggage of lies. You will
never contradict with your words, and you do not need to remember anything. Honesty
causes self-confidence and pride.

Every human knows lying is bad yet humans lies. We are living in a society where lies are portrait as truth & everyone accept that lie as truth even when they know it's a lie. The best example is Politicians & News Channels.
